I take a prescription drug for my adult add I turned my prescription into community corrections the day of my intake I took my drug screen March 23rd 2018 on Saturday April 7th two officers arrived at my home with a warrant the warrant didn't state my violation just said I had one and I was taken to jail Monday April 9th I went in front of a judge and was givin a bond of 250$ my court paper work showed my violation as failed drug screen and contained my medication as the factor of the failed drug screen I bonded out of jail and went straight to community corrections to have my house arrest monitor put back on and my case worker tells me this was a big mistake on his part and apologizes and says he's dropping the violation but I'm still here upset I was wrongfully arrested because of his mistake

You could contact a civil rights lawyer and look into filing a suit for a wrongful detention. Sometimes they can be fairly lucrative, as the deprivation of your personal liberties for no lawful reason is a serious matter and you have sustained some damages as a result. Since this was an acknowledged mistake, the agency may be willing to quickly offer you something in settlement once a lawyer gets involved.

If you're not sure where you can find a lawyer who will take on the department of probation and your house arrest officer try the Indiana Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service. They charge a fee of about $40 for the referral but that includes a free half-hour initial consultation with the lawyer.
